Good morning. Afternoon bus route update:
Bus 16 students will ride bus 2 home today. Bus 2 will run both routes at the same time, so if your student rides bus 2 or 16, their drop-off time may be different than normal.
Bus 5 students who live in town will be dropped off by bus 6 again today. So drop off times for those students and bus 6 students may be different.
Bus 5 students who live out of town will be dropped off about the same time as they were yesterday.
Thank you to everyone for working with us during our shortage of drivers. Hopefully next week we will be back to "normal".
Good evening. After coming up with a solution to being a driver short tomorrow, we are now going to be two drivers short tomorrow. We will not be able to run a bus 16 morning route tomorrow. If you can't get your student to school, please call the office and we will send someone to your stop, but it will be after 8:00. We will run bus 16 in the afternoon but students will be dropped off about 30 minutes later than normal. Again, we apologize.
Good afternoon. Tomorrow, bus 12 WILL run as normal in the morning. Students who live IN town and ride bus 5 will be picked up by bus 6 between 7:45 and 8:00. Bus 5 OUT of town riders will be picked up as normal. Tomorrow afternoon we will run buses the same way we did this afternoon. Again we apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Good morning. This afternoon, bus 12 WILL run as normal. We are splitting up students who ride bus 5. Bus 5 students should arrive about the same time as normal, but may be a few minutes late. Students who ride bus 6 may also be about 5-10 minutes later than normal. Again, we apologize for any inconveniences. Thanks for your understanding as we try to navigate through these crazy times.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to run bus 12 for the next two days. There will NOT be a bus 12 morning route on Monday and Tuesday this week. If you ride bus 12 and you need transportation in the morning, please call the office to let us know. We will get a bus to you but it will be after 8:00. We will be able to run a bus 12 afternoon route but it will be after a driver gets back from their route. We will keep students in the gym until a driver gets back. Bus 12 riders will be about 30 minutes late getting home for the next two days. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we will not have enough drivers to cover all routes.
Santa's Cottage will be virtual this year. Please see the image. Thanks.
Phone lines and internet are down at both buildings. We are receiving some calls but not all. We are unable to make outgoing calls. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.
